The great name of ADCC 2009, Bráulio Estima is close to make one more dream come true: to debut on MMA. With signed contract with Shine Fights, American event that may do its next edition in April, the black belt gets excited. “I just signed the contract. It was in my hand, but I only had time to sign now”, tells Bráulio, who’s making a seminary tour on United States. Excited for the first fight, the black belt tells that he could appear in other events on the future.
“I liked the proposal, it will be on pay-per-view. It was a non exclusive contract, a lot (of events) looked form e, but I won’t talk about it because I may fight in some of them because I have an one contract (laugh)”, explains the fighter who signed a three fights contract, but hasn’t a chosen opponent yet to the debut.
Although, who is thinking that the black belt will be out of the main competitions with kimono to fight on the rings is wrong. “I love Jiu-Jitsu and I’m always training. I have nothing to lose. MMA is MMA and Jiu is Jiu... I’m not afraid to lose, I fight because I like to. And I feel there’s a good ‘challenge’ on the world’s”, guarantees Estima, with confirmed presence on the 2010 World’s.
